The attorney general is an unreformed drug warrior and sinister elf.

The president is pissed because Sessions recused himself from the investigation of Russian attempts to influence the 2016 election. But here are a baker's dozen of reasons to hate the attorney general, including his obsession with restarting the war on pot, his call to jack up mandatory minimums, and his support for civil asset forfeiture. Then there's his lack of interest in due process, willingness to subvert state's rights when they conflict with his desired outcome, and desire to lengthen prison terms for non-violent criminals. Also, he might be some kind of statist elf.

During Sessions' confirmation hearings, Democrats claimed the former Alabama senator was unfit for office because he was a racist, charges that were never really substantiated. But Sessions' voting record and policy agenda are more than enough to disqualify him from being the nation's top law enforcement officer.

I agree with the sentiment, but I wish Reason would be as frank and rude regarding Democrats as they are Republicans. The tone of discourse and criticism regarding the two parties is stark in contrast.

I doubt we’d ever see a video calling out Kamella Harris like this because for some reason calling people @$#/! is funny and fine when it’s a Republican but we have to treat Democrats like they are deserving of good faith discourse and civilized niceties, regardless of how wrong and dangerous they are.
